TIPS:
See the below tips for getting started after you’ve set up your
Twitter profile:
- Consider Your Tool: Try out a tool like Tweetchat, which helps you
see only the tweets with your hashtag. It also automatically includes your
hashtag at the end of your tweets. Here’s more about chat tools (along with an extensive list of other chats).
Such tools are optional but can make participation easier. - Plan Ahead: Once the ball gets rolling, a Twitter
chat can move pretty fast. Jot down any ideas or questions you have before the
discussion so you’re sure to bring them up. - Follow and Listen: Follow the moderator, @tEDMagazine and
click on the hashtag #tEDChat within a tweet to see all the tweets of everyone
participating in the discussion. You can also search for “#tEDChat”
on Twitter to see everything said during the chat. - Get involved: Ask questions and share your
thoughts, including #tEDchat at the end of each tweet so it’s included in the
discussion for everyone else to see.
